Why Intelligent People Are Broke

What is your IQ? Do you believe in yourself as the most intelligent person in the room? If so, then why are you still struggling with money?

In today’s article, I will discuss a few observations I have noticed for years, looking at the most intelligent people I have ever known in my life. I’m talking about computer scientists, doctors, mathematicians, and the people with some of the highest IQs on this planet.

An intelligent person is a person who can analyze different scenarios for problems and come up with hundreds of possibilities and worst-case scenarios to avoid or take a chance. And that’s one of the first reasons most intelligent people are broke.

Money isn’t primarily a game of intelligence; you don’t need an IQ of 165 to make the most of cash; the dumber you are, the easier for you to make a decent living.

Look at many rich people around you; do you think they are the most intelligent? I’m guessing you think you are smarter than them, yet you still struggle with money while they strive.

People with less intelligence rely on instincts and sniff for money like hunting dogs; whenever they smell a possibility to earn cash, they run for it; they don’t go through hundreds of analyses and worst-case scenarios. If they did, they would avoid getting into the opportunity.
